IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING:

When using the dishwasher, follow basic precautions, including the following:

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

■

Read all instructions before using the dishwasher.

■

Use the dishwasher only for its intended function.

■

Use only detergents or rinse agents recommended for use in a

dishwasher, and keep them out of the reach of children.

■

When loading items to be washed:

1) Locate sharp items so that they are not likely to damage the

door seal; and

2) Load sharp knives with the handles up to reduce the risk of cut-

type injuries.

■

Do not wash plastic items unless they are marked

“dishwasher

safe” or the equivalent. For plastic items not so marked, check the

manufacturer's recommendations.

■

Do not touch the heating element during or immediately after use.

■

To avoid electrical shock hazard, the sides and back must be

enclosed and the front panels must be attached before electrical

power is applied to the dishwasher. Refer to the installation

instructions for proper grounding procedures.

■

Do not tamper with controls.

■

Do not abuse, sit on, or stand on the door, lid, or dish

racks of the dishwasher.

■

To reduce the risk of injury, do not allow children to

play in or on the dishwasher.

■

Under certain conditions, hydrogen gas may be

produced in a hot water system that has not been

used for two weeks or more. HYDROGEN GAS IS

EXPLOSIVE. If the hot water system has not been

used for such a period, before using the dishwasher

turn on all hot water faucets and let the water flow

from each for several minutes. This will release any

accumulated hydrogen gas. As the gas is flammable,

do not smoke or use an open flame during this time.

■

Remove the door or lid to the washing compartment

when removing an old dishwasher from service or

discarding it.
